WORD OF THE WEEK ! overview In order to expand our collective vocabulary--and because, for whatever reason, I'm fascinated with new/different words--we are giving you a chance to earn pawprints simply by posting! That's right. Each week, a different word will be posted in this thread for you to use in your roleplay. If you use it, and use it correctly, you need only to post here to receive a reward for doing so. Sounds pretty epic, right? Not only is it (quite) epic, it is easy, and it's fun. Seriously, who doesn't love to learn new things, and be rewarded for learning them? disclaimer: this idea was originally Lionne's, and i would be a terrible person if i didn't mention her <3 rules In order to receive your reward for using the word, it must have been used correctly. You can't just toss it into a sentence at random. That said, we provide definitions and an example to help you on your way. You can use any of the definitions (some words can mean multiple things, depending on how it is used) you like, so long as the word is used in the right way. Each word is worth 5 pawprints, if used correctly. You may use the word multiple times in a single thread, but you will only be rewarded once per post. So, if you use the word three times in post #1 you will receive a single reward for that post. However, if, in that same thread, you used the word again in post #5, you will again receive a single reward. Effectively, this means that you can earn as many rewards as you make posts, per thread, but only one reward per post. Obviously, in order to receive a reward for using the word, the post containing it must have been made during the appropriate week. If the post was made outside of the week, you will receive no reward. So pay close attention to the date! To turn in a post for your reward, simply post here with a link to the thread, which character used the word, and a quote of the specific sentence. If you want the pawprints given to an account other than the character, add that in as well. Pretty simple, right? :3 current word 6/7 - 6/13
